Did you know your partner before dating them?

Did you know them e.g friends, clssmates, workmates, religious group, family friends etc. or did you not know or kinda know them e.g schoolmate ( differet grades. you recognize the face but dont know who they are), mutual friend meeting them for the first time , online dating, living in the same building and having a chance encounter?

Most Helpful Girl

I don't know which one exactly I fall under. I met him online and we didn't meet in person until a little over a year later. But the year we spent talking online and over the phone I got to know him so well that when we met in person it felt like I had known him my whole life.

I fell in love with my best friend <3 when we first started talking we were just friendly with each other. I shared stuff that I probably wouldn't have if I had known we were going to end up dating.

Well... my first ex was the only one I truly loved. But unfortunately, she cheated on me with a 60 year old asshole. The second one... well... she was probably a rebound, but she turned out to be a habitual liar who had even lied to me about her name and education.

I mean... women seem to be so unapproachable these days, probably due to all this feminism crap. It's like they have along list of partner requirements, and if I don't check all the boxes, I'll be rejected outright.

There's less drama, the two of you can setup your relationship however you want without having to worry about what other people think--no one knows you're with each other until you tell them. If things don't workout, break it off nice and cleanly--no need to choose who's going to keep which friends.

Plus, if you have the guts to ask out strangers, your options are always open. You know you can find a new SO at the snap of a finger--just a matter of numbers. And you can ask out the type of girls who really interest you, rather than settle for the arbitrary girls who happen to be in your web of relationships in some way--or the lack of them, as the case may be. Why not get what you actually want, rather than cross your fingers and hope that one of five eligible women in your network will like you? There are 3.5 billion women on the planet--why limit myself to girls my friends know? Bullshit.
